My son loves these books! This may have been the first chapter book he read to himself.

The boy in the story uses his super powers to help with things in his town, and had adventures. The book has many illustrations through the chapter.

Background: Eugene McGillicudy is actually Captain Awesome! Fighter of the evil super villains, including Queen Stinkypants, hit baby sister. But how is he supposed to do all this when he can’t even find his cape and has just moved to a new place.

Review: Captain Awesome to the Rescue! is a very cute story about a young boy who believes he is a superhero and takes this secret with him everywhere…to fight the evil of his new hometown. It is wonderfully illustrated and imaginative, with Eugene’s superhero presence everywhere, including at his new school. The spacing and pictures make it great for beginning readers, and while the content may make them want to fight crime as well, it is a very captivating story for the young.

(I am no longer 8. I suspect that if I was, I would've loved this. As it was, well. It's no Captain Underpants.) ( )

A quick read about a boy with a superhero identity. Might be a good choice for Kids Jr. book club.
